It probably has root rot from staying too wet. Where do you keep it? Extra lighting? (I'm assuming that you keep it inside) Is it near a heater vent?

Once the roots start to rot, the leaves wrinkle and brown, and it looks like it needs water. But the roots can no longer take up water, and the soil stays too wet, and you water it too much because you think that it needs more, so the rot continues.

If it were sitting here, I would pull it out of its pot, cut off the dark squishy roots, and then repot it into a larger pot with free-draining soil. It may or may not recover, but it would have a better chance than trying to recover in the wet soil and with rotting roots as it is now.

If you decide to take this route, make sure that you understand how to make the soil, ask us about it if you need to.
